Recommended Amazon Resources

It takes a little help and a lot of action to be an FBA ALLSTAR. So here’s a few tools and resources to get you going and grow and scale your Amazon empire a bit more effectively. Note that some of these links are affiliate links (to help pay for editing and such) but if you’re uncomfortable with that, just Google the tool and you’re good to go

1. Product Research

I didn’t use Jungle Scout to get started and honestly wish I did. Product research is almost TOO easy. Jungle Scout saves FBA sellers time (and money!!!) by automatically exporting BSRs, showing sales figures, tracking competitor review counts and and a ton of other great stuff when searching for private label Amazon opportunities.

And, there’s filters to find only products based on your private label criteria. Seriously, J﻿ungle Scout automates most of the pain of product selection I struggled with as an Amazon seller.

A free, powerful tool with a weird name, CamelCamelCamel allows you to review BSRs and product prices (including history) of any Amazon products in the past. It rocks for checking trends and tracking competitors.

2. Keyword Research

For the longest time there was no good keyword and SEO tool for Amazon sellers. That just changed. Helium10 has a powerful keyword research tool that’s help me add TONS of new keywords to my backend and PPC campaigns. It also checks if Amazon’s indexing your listing for certain keywords, creates and checks common misspellings, crunches backend keywords and helps optimize with on page SEO. I highly recommend it. When you sign up for the Platinum Plan:

Google is organic search and they have a FREE tool to go through ALL the data. Search keywords, get suggestions and check search volumes (great for Amazon keyword selection and setting up PPC ) and even steal competitor keywords…

3. Boosting Conversion Rates

You said you wanted a better, business boosting book on Amazon sales and conversion rates. So I wrote it. The Copywriting Bible is the best Amazon focused copywriting book out there.

It is a step-by-step process. We find the important keywords, we research customer wants and then we write. First, a tested headline formula designed to sell well and rank better. Then bullet point strategies and writing styles proven to convert. We make a sales letter for your product and optimize the description. We cover all the bases on increasing conversion rates. Each chapter boosts your conversion rates. Each helps you rank higher. Everything is important and together it takes average and above average Amazon listings to the next level.

I just found out about Splitly and I’m pumped. This is a kickass, automated split testing software for Amazon listings. You can robotically reprice to optimize for profits and keyword ranks across your entire product line. That means WAY more money and less work for you.

In addition you can separately split test titles, bullets, descriptions and more easily and effectively track conversion rates. That means better converting, more profitable listings. Use Coupon Code: FBAALLSTARS to get 20% OFF your first month and start selling better today.

This is the coolest and most robust Amazon tool I have found to date. Sellics is a full service dashboard that manages and monitors your entire Amazon business. It tracks profit per products, rankings, reviews (with easy CRM to reply), hijackers while also doing inventory management, PPC optimization and management and even spying on competitors…

What a name. I fucking love this software. It tracks profit, it tracks individual unit sales, it tracks PPC, keywords rankings…it does everything. In an instant I know EXACTLY how my Amazon business is doing. No more lying to myself about margins, ad spend or profitability. That means calculated decisions based off facts – ie pushing profit and business success.

The dashboard shows revenue, profit and margins per product. It automates things I needed to yet was too lazy to do. That frees my time for bigger, better things.

5. Amazon Feedback Autoresponders

I personally use Feedback Genius and recommend Feedback Genius for my Amazon autoresponder follow up sequence. It’s an incredibly easy to use and powerful tool to automatically get feedback and reviews from customers when they buy your products. I particularly like some of the variable tags and automation capabilities around sending response emails after customers leave positive feedback…hello 5 star reviews

6. Inventory Management

Forecastly is a powerful inventory tracking tool designed to help you with reorders, inventory projections, inbound shipping and a hell of a lot more. I love it to know exactly when I should reorder, how much and the simple built in PI system to setup orders with suppliers. It also tracks shipments to Amazon, telling you which shipments Amazon messes up and where you can get reimbursed full product price for lost inventory.

TeikaMetrics is the elite Amazon seller’s dream. The software combines virtually all aspects of running an Amazon business into easy to interpret data, analytics and advice. From tracking inventory, projecting orders, reducing fees and hardcore PPC optimization. TeikaMetrics provides $100k+ sellers with the high level tools to build and manage an Amazon empire. It really shines in raw data power and can help sellers monitor and control tons of SKUs without worry.

7. Amazon Advertising Tools

This is my NEW FAVORITE software and biggest recommendation. I love their ACOS scraping feature to find new keywords. I’m growing sales and saving cash with suggested ACOS range bids. Plus Entourage helps me find non-profitable keywords and search terms to save a ton of money. 1﻿﻿5% OFF for ENTIRE year with Coupon Code: FBAALLSTARS

Sellics has a really robust PPC tool in addition to everything else. It is a full service dashboard that manages and monitors your entire Amazon business. It tracks profit per products, rankings, reviews (with easy CRM to reply), hijackers while also doing inventory management, PPC optimization and management and even spying on competitors…

8. Amazon Reimbursements/$$ Stuff

If you want an automated and effective way to tell Amazon to fuck off and give you your money back, Helium10 really is a winner. They get you thousands and thousands in stolen (lost) fees and other little tricks Amazon does to not pay sellers their fair share. Check them out and pay nothing unless they get you more money back. This is huge!

Plus Helium 10 has tons of other super valuable keyword and SEO tools to help sellers scale!

Refunds Manager

Refunds Manager is a twice a year process to take back thousands from Amazon. Amazon misses, probably intentionally, tens of thousands in refunds for seller. Here is how to fight back.

They usually break your credit card max cause the small % fees you pay them for success (no upfront fees) is so much your 5k, 10, 15k credit card max is exhausted. Check them out and tellthem Matt sent you!

Instead of waiting 2 weeks for a payout, with Payability, Amazon Sellers can get paid every day and even earn 2% cash back on purchases. Clients studies have shown that Amazon Sellers using Payability for increased cash flow and control over their Amazon payouts have grown 2.5x faster than sellers that don’t - try it today, get paid faster!

Selling outside your home country and struggling to get a bank account and get paid by Amazon?

Want to save 2+% on ALL foreign Amazon payments and transfers?

17. Off Amazon Ecommerce

Honestly it’s an easy choice here when taking your FBA brand off Amazon. Shopify is the fastest, easiest and most effective shopping cart to get started for ecommerce sellers looking to scale and grow a business. Their free templates are awesome (I actually use a free theme on my own Shopify site and get complements all the time) and they take a lot of the hassle of building an ecommerce store out of the equation. Unless you’re building a massive site with loads of products, I’d personally stick with Shopify as they are pretty simple yet plenty powerful (I’ve used BigCommerce before and results are night and day apart and support has been great).

JoeLister lets you setup and sell automatically on Ebay, no extra steps. It auto-lists and manages your listings and pushes Ebay sales fulfillment through FBA. That is a completely automated extra channel to add to your business with a tiny price tag. 2-3 sales a month and you make youre money back and your brand appear bigger.

18. Email ﻿﻿Marketing

Holy shit this rocks. Just started with Active Campaign and it blows Mailchimp and AWeber out of water! Build out intensive ecommerce funnels, create customer tags, send sequences based off sales, on page actions and more. This is a really really cool and customizable marketing platform with built in CRM and I definitely recommend this if you are serious about off Amazon ecommerce success.

18b

Mailchimp

Mailchimp is another great email marketing provider, though a bit less powerful than AWeber. They have autoresponders and work list management but have less powerful automation tools and segmenting than AWeber which make it harder for effective upsells. Either are great options for FBA sellers just getting into email marketing though and will do what you need.
